Tobacco-free future: Should Luxembourg expand smoking bans like France?
France has expanded its smoking ban to include beaches, parks, and areas near schools to deter youth smoking. This has sparked a debate on whether Luxembourg should implement similar measures. The stricter ban in France aims to protect young people by prohibiting smoking in public spaces frequented by children. While Luxembourg has no beaches, discussions on extending smoking restrictions to places where children gather are ongoing. The push for anti-tobacco measures in Luxembourg continues, with initiatives focusing on raising awareness, supporting smokers to quit, and creating smoke-free zones. The goal is to reduce Luxembourg's smoking rate to below 5% by 2040.
